• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Any experience or ideas on Increasing Ground Clearance on the Canyon Models?

    Everyone has an opinion. Great video on a snowmobile conversion. The guy is a great mechanic and fabricator. Before Dirt Bike wrote a review on the Can Am Spyder Canyon they had to write 100 times the Canyon is not a OHV. We are now at 95 times, some people are slower learners. Not every...

    Any experience or ideas on Increasing Ground Clearance on the Canyon Models?

    Peter, great video. Yes the Canyon is not a Spyder. Yes the Canyon is not a true Adventure Bike. Driving gravel roads in LaPaz and Mojave Counties AZ for almost 20 years after a heavy rain in certain spots you will be swept away in or on any vehicle. Can Am or other suppliers need to listen...

    Any experience or ideas on Increasing Ground Clearance on the Canyon Models?

    Research on ground clearance for other motorcycles adventure models (Honda, BMW, Harley, and Ducati) vary from 6.9”-8.6”. Two other methods of lift for a motorcycle are a suspension lift or a lift kit. The other, as mentioned earlier, is tires. I read in an earlier post how a member raised his...

    Any experience or ideas on Increasing Ground Clearance on the Canyon Models?

    Thank you for response. The number of machines (Canyons) sold, used, and their owner's needs will determine future developments. I have only a few years experience, but since 1967 and working at Harley’s Capital Drive Plant for two summers while going to college, motorcycles (Can Am Spyder 2007)...

    Any experience or ideas on Increasing Ground Clearance on the Canyon Models?

    We are up to 3 responses, you have 97 more times. The Can Am Spyder is not an off road machine, as written by several professionals, Can Am, and myself. We are on the second year of the Canyon model and looking for experienced riders comments and not inexperienced opinions. Your opinion is...

    Any experience or ideas on Increasing Ground Clearance on the Canyon Models?

    All road conditions are different. Weather, time of year, and maintenance of graded gravel roads. There are some excellent articles written for riders by professionals (DirtBike, etc) on how the Can Am Spyder Canyon is NOT an OHV vehicle. Driving on maintained roads is what we are looking for...

    Enjoying my Redrock with Unlimited access to all roads!

    All public roads have a maintenance schedule. Over the years we have had to call for a check up on the last time a road was graded and have found if you do not remind them (the local Government) your road will not be maintained as scheduled. Another example is a washout after a rain storm, a...

    Any experience or ideas on Increasing Ground Clearance on the Canyon Models?

    Good advice, but sometimes I have been in places where that would not work, I would need a tow point to get over an obstacle safely. Driving with a small group of like minded individuals always helps. Driving on one side of a mountain range, it could be sunny and nice, while on the other side...

    Any experience or ideas on Increasing Ground Clearance on the Canyon Models?

    I have been driving Jeeps and Motorcycles over 50 years. A important factor is ground clearance and plating to slide over obstacles. Has anyone with experience and letters behind their opinion come up with more ground clearance and protection with alternatives for more ground clearance and skid...

    Any interest in a Door County Riding Group?

    Tomorrow will see a high of -6°F, but today is the time to plan Spring, Summer, and Fall rides. Usually we have lunch at Water Front Mary’s and start rides from there. Four basic rides are shoreline rides up or down Greenbay water side or Lake Michigan water side leaving Sturgeon Bay, WI. Other...

    Any recommendations on a Trickle charge set up for a Canyon?

    I’ve looked at the manual several times, trying to figure out a convenient way to set up trickle charge for my Can-Am Spyder Red Rock Canyon during the winter months. I had my previous Spyder set up through the front trunk. Yes, I can remove the seat and have access to the battery that way, but...

    Is the Canyon Riding position narrower than the RT's? Enough to notice & stop cramping hips?

    Motion is life, keep moving. I am 76 years old and will be riding my Canyon Redrock today. I stand up on my Canyon at slow speed for body motion or stop after a couple of hours. My Canyon will be turning 4000 miles very soon and I'm enjoying every public road, especially ones posted (No ATVs)...

    Canyon Drive Belt Lower Idler Support Recall

    Called BRP and asked if it is safe to drive my Can Am Spyder Canyon Redrock in for service next week Tuesday (7/29/2025). They gave me Reference # and told me to leave my bike parked. In the process with Dealership and BRP to arrange transportation. Following their wisdom.
